- Love demands free will.
- Satan’s rebellion revealed the glory of God.
- We grow through testing.
(Message 6) Why did God create Satan and what’s going to happen to him in the end? Some of the answers to his origins are still mysterious. However, we can know with certainty about the final destruction of our enemy.

John 19:28-30
“Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.”
1 Peter 4:12-13
“Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.”
